This tied using pine squirrel strips in a variety of colors. The cone needs a little room to wiggle near the eye so the fly rattles a little bit. The local guys here call them a pine cone fly. It is just a slumpbuster variant. Drives trout and bass crazy. Catches crappie and bluegill too (if the bluegill are large enough to get the thing in their mouth).

I’m starting to see a bit of a rabbit-strip theme develop here….

You can tie all the flies you’ll ever need with a few dead bunnies.

Black articulated bunny leech with dumbell eyes and some flash and some marabou… size big. Catches everything.

Very nice. Those dog’s will hunt!

What he said.

I tie a really really realistic clinger pattern that i picked up from a gentleman named Greg Glitzer, who happens to be a dynamite tier and fisherman as well, it works…it works really really well.

welcome aboard! you can lose hours just looking at all the wonderful photography here.

[Colin M.]

Right on man.

[Colin M.]

The real question is….are the prices going to come back down and level off near where they were pre fad.

[Colin M.]

Alot of opinions on this, but I might as well be the first to throw in.

I think especially with trout and salmon fishing, taking the barb off is helpful.

[Colin M.]

Nice work! I do that with bass lures.

[Colin M.]

I own a pair of Orivs Pro guide II’s (5 layers all the way up) and a pair of G3’s

[Colin M.]

Do you mash the barbs down at least?

[Colin M.]

SLightly off topic.

[Colin M.]

The more i see photos from guys with the EWA bags…the more i am convinced that i “need” one.

[Colin M.]

When i ever fish up there i ALWAYS wade deep.

[Colin M.]
